Components: Can't bind to 'active' since it isn't a known property of 'a'

[a-sahel]

Bug, feature request, or proposal:

I'm using the mat-tab-link inside a mat-tab-nav-bar and I'm getting the error:

Error: Template parse errors:
Can't bind to 'active' since it isn't a known property of 'a'. ("gFor="let link of navLinks" [routerLink]="['/'+link.path]" routerLinkActive #rla="routerLinkActive" [ERROR ->][active]="rla.isActive">
      {{link.label}}
    </a>

What is the expected behavior?

Not getting the error

What is the current behavior?

Getting the error

What are the steps to reproduce?

<nav mat-tab-nav-bar>
    <a matTabLink *ngFor="let link of navLinks" [routerLink]="['/'+link.path]" routerLinkActive #rla="routerLinkActive" [active]="rla.isActive">
      {{link.label}}
    </a>
  </nav>

What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?

Angular 6.0.2, Material 6.0.2, Safari and Chrome, Typescript 2.7.2.

Can you double-check that you've included the MatTabsModule in your app?

I had the same problem, it was indeed missing the MatTabsModule.

Hmm, I'm having this same problem now, even with the MatTabsModule...
